Social Evening

We are getting together for a Social Evening at 7:30pm on

What is the UKUUG ?

UKUUG is the UK's open systems organisation, promoting the
use of open systems, standards and software everywhere,
UKUUG holds two annual
conferences as well as seminars and tutorials throughout
the year.

What is Spring 2008 ?

UKUUG's Spring conference is aimed at people with
responsibility for large systems; 2007's conference
targetted virtual systems and this interest is being maintained
for 2008.

Also for 2008 we have an additional theme

Dynamic Languages: more than Scripting Tools

with a strong input, including talks and tutorials, from the
Perl and Python communities.

When and Where will it be Held ?

Spring 2008 will be held from 31st March to 2nd April 2008
at the Birmingham Conservatoire.

What will be Included in the Programme ?

We're planning talks, lightning talks and tutorials as well
as social events, and
there will be BoF ('Birds of Feather') sessions for
Exim and a full one day conference for PostgreSQL. Delegates
are encouraged to arrange their own BoFs as well.

Thanks to generous sponsorship from Google there will
a splendid Conference Dinner at the Novotel, just a few minutes
walk from the conference venue. This is free-of-charge to
delegates if you book in time.

UKUUG and the UKUUG PostgreSQL SIG are proud to join forces with the
UK PostgreSQL User Group
to present the UK's first PostgreSQL User Group Conference. This is being
run as a one day event on 2nd April 2008 in parallel with Spring
2008. You can see details here.

What's the other UKUUG Conference ?

The second annual UKUUG conference is held each Summer, and
is aimed at GNU/Linux developers.

What's this Conservatoire then ?

The School of Music at Birmingham City University.
It has excellent facilities for our conference, and is
in short walking distance of train and coach stations and
hotels at all price levels.

How much will it Cost Me ?

We are keeping costs to a minimum and there are discounts
for UKUUG members and early bird booking as well as
concessionary rates for UKUUG concession members (eg students).
